Abstract

 In the concept of gender, power produces the types of women's body which
patriarchal society requires through power's principle mechanisms, "surveillance" and
"gaze." The acquisitions of this mechanism are the following: Women's body is
habituated the external regulation, it optimizes its capabilities, it extorts its forces, it
increases its usefulness and docility, and it integrates it into the system. As a result, a
disindividualized woman's body is created. However, as Foucault suggests, power
does not only operate through domination or oppression as the common knowledge, it
also operates through the experience of resistance. In other words, "it creates new
possibilities, produces new things, ideas, and relations; this is akin to what feminists
call 'empowerment'". In this paper, I will focus on the body and show the relationship of
power with the body and the reflection of this in the literary texts written by Turkish
women writers. In doing so, I will try to find answers to the questions: How does power
disindividualize a woman's body? In other words, what kind of disciplinary mechanisms
does power produce to disindividualize women's bodies? How do women resist this in literature? Are they able to construct a free/empowered woman's body? If so, what
narrative strategies do they use?
